Hi all,
I rent a dedicated server where I installed an hypervisor and purchased
failover public IPv4 IPs routed to that server.
When configuring the Debian VMs to use those failover IPs, I have to
- set the address to /32: "ip addr add $IP/32 dev eth0"
- set the traffic to the gateway to go through the NIC: "ip route add
$GW dev eth0"
- set the default route to go via the gateway: "ip route add default via
$GW"
As I set the IP address to a /32, the gateway is not (never) in the
subnet of the VM.
When using the Debian installer, at the networking setup, the installer
refuses that setting: the gateway is not in the subnet of the set IP
address.
The workaround I use is either to
- finish the installation without network and then at reboot, setup the
network
- manually setup the network during installation in another console
But isn't there a way to make the Debian installer accept that the
gateway is not in the subnet of the set IP address?
Regards
